Mitchell Marsh's Century Heroics Dominate Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025

Mitchell Marsh delivered one of the standout performances of IPL 2025 on May 22, smashing a scintillating 117 off 64 balls to guide Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to a crucial victory over Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium.



This was Marsh’s maiden IPL century, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for LSG as the tournament inches closer to the playoffs.

Marsh Sets the Stage on Fire

Opening the innings, Marsh played with power, precision, and poise. His innings included:

  • 10 boundaries and 6 towering sixes

  • A 56-ball century, his fastest in T20s

  • Excellent shot selection and strike rotation

His aggressive start laid the foundation for LSG’s massive total of 235/2 in 20 overs.

Supporting Acts: Pooran and Pant

While Marsh took center stage, Nicholas Pooran added the finishing touches with a fiery 50 off just 23 balls*, and Rishabh Pant chipped in with a quick 16 off 6 balls*, boosting the final total well beyond Gujarat’s reach.

GT’s Struggle in the Chase

In response, GT tried to stay in the chase with knocks from:

  • Shahrukh Khan: 57 (29 balls)

  • Sherfane Rutherford: 38 (22 balls)

However, LSG’s bowling attack kept things under control, eventually restricting GT to 202/9, sealing a 33-run win.

What This Means for LSG

This victory solidifies Lucknow Super Giants’ position in the points table and boosts their playoff hopes. For Marsh, this innings might mark the turning point in his IPL career, finally translating international form into league dominance.

Final Thoughts

Mitchell Marsh’s 117 was not just about personal milestones—it was a statement performance that reminded everyone of his T20 prowess. If Marsh continues in this form, LSG will be a formidable force as the IPL 2025 playoffs approach.
